OUE is a partner in the undergraduate experience, working alongside faculty to support student learning, foster connection, and recognize teaching excellence. From engaging with students and colleagues to accessing resources, recognizing outstanding teaching, and partnering on student support, there are many ways faculty can connect with OUE. Here are five ways to get involved.
Engage with students beyond the classroom
OUE offers faculty meaningful ways to connect with students beyond the classroom. Through programs, events, and opportunities for one-on-one and small-group engagement, faculty can build relationships with students, support their academic and personal growth, and become part of the vibrant undergraduate community.
Let us help with testing
The Duke Testing Center partners with faculty to provide secure, accessible, and professional testing services for undergraduate courses. Faculty can use the Testing Center to administer exams, including make-up exams and exams requiring accommodations, while ensuring a consistent testing environment for students.
Learn from your peers
The Bass Society of Fellows creates opportunities for faculty to learn from one another and share ideas about teaching, mentoring, and the undergraduate experience. Whether through a faculty discussion, workshop, or informal gathering, the Bass Society provides a space for connection, collaboration, and professional growth.
Teaching Recogintion
OUE celebrates and recognizes faculty who make a lasting impact on undergraduate learning through the Judith Deckers Prize and the Bass Society of Fellows. Together, these awards reflect Duke’s commitment to elevating teaching excellence and recognizing faculty who inspire and support our students.
Partner with OUE Globally
OUE partners with faculty to strengthen the undergraduate experience and support student success worldwide. Whether you’re developing a new program, connecting students with experiential opportunities, navigating academic support and accommodations, or looking for ways to engage more deeply with students outside the classroom, OUE’s Global Education team is here to collaborate. We invite faculty to connect with us, share ideas, and explore opportunities to partner on initiatives that enrich undergraduate learning at Duke.
